1. General instructions
•    Use of this document requires that the operating manuals
     for the implement and the software have been read and
     understood. The corresponding documents are shown on
     the left side.
•    For this reason, it is necessary to take additional information
     from the operating manual. The operating manual must
     always be available when performing the orientation aid for
     the start of the season with the AmaTron 4.
•    The Orientation Aid for the Start of the Season - AmaTron
     4 document serves as a guideline for the user to check the
     implement for the new season and to put it back into
     operation. This document is based on software version
     NW216-F and is also only valid for this version.

  With the tractor geometry data (3), the position of the GPS receiver relative to
  the longitudinal axis, rear axle and to the attachment point on the tractor are
  specified. The geometry data is needed to correctly display the map view and                       3
  for proper functioning of part-width section control.

                                                                                                     2

7. Two-terminal solution
Changing the universal terminal: change from where the
implement is currently signed in; in some cases, this can
also be the tractor terminal. The selection of the UT
(universal terminal) and TC (Task Controller) number is
                                                              1
explained as an example in the UT of the AmaTron 4.
Example: operation of the implement on the tractor terminal                        3
and Section Control on the AmaTron 4. Implement software      2
> Profile / User menu > ISOBUS
(1) Terminal for implement operation on 1.                        4
(2) Terminal for documentation and Section Control on 2.
(3) Confirm the changes.                                              5   6
(4) Then confirm the settings.

To ensure a clear assignment between the universal
terminals (UT) and the implement, the UT and TC numbers
can also be configured manually on the AmaTron 4.

Example for changing the UT number:
(5) Change to the setup menu.
(6) Press the "ISOBUS" button.
(7) Press the "UT number" button.
(8) Change the UT number (most UTs have the UT                        7   8
     number set to No.1 ex factory, so simply select 2) to
     enable clear identification.
(9) Confirm the entry.
                                                                      v
(10) The AmaTron 4 must then be restarted!

10. GPS switch settings
To go to the settings for the GPS switch, actuate the
"Settings" button (1). By actuating the "Overlap" button (2),
the settings for the overlap are shown.
                                                                           2
(3) Overlap in the direction of travel: here, the switch-on
    and -off point in the direction of travel can be configured.
    A positive overlap causes the implement to switch on
    earlier or switch off earlier. A negative overlap causes the
    part-width sections to switch on later or switch off later.
                                                                       1
(4) Degree of overlap: the degree of overlap defines the
    coverage at which individual part-width sections should
    be switched off when reaching an area that was already
    worked. The setting depends on whether complete
    treatment is required or if double treatment should be                     7
                                                                   3
    avoided (7).
                                                                   4
(5) Overlap tolerance: the overlap tolerance defines the
    tolerance with which the two outer part-width sections         5
    (right and left) react to overlaps. The maximum value is       6
    half the working width of the outer part-width sections.
    The overlap tolerance prevents the outer part-width
    sections from constantly switching on and off when there
    is minimal overlap.
(6) Overlap tolerance at the field boundary: for safety
    reasons, 0% degree of overlap must always be set at
    the field boundary. The overlap tolerance can be
    separately set for the field boundary at one's own risk.

11. Procedure during operation
Creating a new field:
(1) If you want to work without Task Controller documentation and
    the internal implement documentation is sufficient, you only have
    to press the "Create new field" button when starting a new job.
(2) When asked if you want to save the data, say no.
(3) If you want to work with the Task Controller, you must confirm
    the question as to whether you want to save the data.                    2                   3
(4) Then create a new job and start it.
                                                                         1
For previously created ISO-XML files and shape files, look at pages
10 and 11.

Activating automatic part-width section control:
(5) Press the "Activate automatic part-width section control" button.                      5
(6) On the status line, the status to the automatic part-width section
    control can be seen.                                                         7

Status of the automatic part-width sections (7):
Grey and flashing: the implement is not in working position (check
                                                                         4
requirements).
Red: the part-width sections are switched off or overridden by the
user.
Green: the part-width sections are switched on.
Yellow: the part-width section status (0/1) does not match with the
implement.
Orange: the part-width sections are switched off by Section Control.
